In this paper, the extended FDTD is used for the analysis of microwave circuits including active elements. Lumped elements such as R, L, C which are inserted into a microstrip line are analyzed with the FDTD lumped element modeling. Parasitic capacitance and inductance could be obtained using network modeling and so it is sure that FDTD lumped element modeling makes it possible to get more accurate data which include parasite components. Moreover, a balanced mixer using two diodes that are modeled by an extended FDTD is designed and the more exact characteristic of the mixer is acquired than in current circuit simulator.

This paper presents the new Compact 2D Haar-wavelet-based MultiResolution Time-Domain method (MRTD) as an accelerating algorithm for the conventional Compact BD Finite-Difference Time-Domain method (FDTD). To validate this algorithm, we analyzed the dispersion characteristics of the hollow rectangular waveguide and dielectric slab-loaded rectangular waveguide. The results of the proposed method are very weal agreed with those of both the conventional analytic method and the Compact 2D FDTD method. The CPU time for analysis of this method is reduced to about a half of the conventional Compact 2D FDTD method. The proposed method is valuable as a fast algorithm in the research of dispersion characteristics of waveguide structures.

We perform a electromagnetic analysis method for indirect effects of a high-conductive structure such as an aircraft exposed by lightning, by using the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD) method. The lightning waveform used to analyze indirect effects has low frequency spectrum and high-conductive materials such as aluminum and carbon fiber composite materials have very short skin depths, and thus, it requires large memory and long computation time using conventional three dimensional FDTD analysis method. We develop an efficient electromagnetic analysis method suitable for lightning and high-conductive structures. The developed analysis method is based on two dimensional FDTD and impedance network boundary condition(INBC) algorithms and we investigate the indirect effects on the structures exposed to lightning.

In this paper, we developed a numerical analysis model by using ADI-FDTD method to analyze three-dimensional interconnect structure. We discretized maxwell's curl equation by using ADI-FDTD. We introduced PML(Perfectly Matched Layer) absorbing boundary condition to solve the effect of the reflected wave at the interface. Evaluating the numerical model of PML and ADI-FDTD, we simulated the electric field distribution in time domain. We compare standard FDTD with ADI-FDTD, and analysis the result.

In this paper, we present microwave characteristics of traveling-wave photodetectors (TWPD) using the finite-difference time-domain method (FDTD). Current and voltage in the time domain are calculated by the FDTD. Also, characteristic impedance and propagation constant in frequency domain are obtained from the time-domain data. As the thickness of i-layer gets thicker and the waveguide width gets narrower, TWPD's show less microwave loss and higher velocity. The 50Ω impedance matching design is achieved for 2.4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ waveguide width and 1.2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thickness of i-layer at 100 GHz.

In this paper, the Finite-Difference Time-Domain(FDTD) modeling method of the Korean human head is introduced to calculate electromagnetic energy absorption for the human head by mobile phones. After MRI scanning data is obtained, 2 dimensional(2D) segmentation is done from the 2D MRI image data by the semi-automatic method. Then, 3D dense segmentation data with $1mm\times1mm\times1mm$ is constructed from the 2D segmentation data. Using the 3D segmentation data, coarse FDTD models of human head that is tilted arbitrarily to model the condition of tilted usage of mobile phone.

In this paper, we analyzed the radiation patterns of a monopole antenna mounted on cylinder and EM penetration problems in the complex structures by using FDTD method associated with 3-D PML absorbing boundary condition. In order to validate the proposed FDTD code, the radiation patterns of monopole antenna mounted on cylinders were compared with the exact Carter's solutions. As a results, the predicted radiation pattern exhibited excellent agreement with exact solution. And the FDTD code is applied to analyze the EM penetration problems in complex structures, Blackhawk helicopter. As the plane wave is excited, a significant amount of energy penetrates the helicopter structure, and it is dependent on aperture/airframe interface.

Because of space limitations, interferences between antennas of the KSLV-I communication systems occur and their effects become worse during all sorts of tests such as the flight test using a light plane. In this paper, coupled signal magnitude is calculated using the FDTD method. The theory of the FDTD, absorbing boundary condition, source input technique, and post processing of data are explained. The calculated coupling factor between two IFAs, which have 2 GHz resonance frequency and placed 5 cm apart, is -12.7 dB. Applied coupling calculation method can be effectively used for KSLV-I performance analysis, subsystem design, antenna arrangement, and communication link budget for the next space launch vehicle.

We perform a wideband radiated pulse coupling analysis of simple building structures using the finite-deference time-domain(FDTD) method. Toward this purpose, the building structures composed of concrete and window materials are assumed and we numerically model the electrical properties of each material. In this work, we apply a dispersive FDTD algorithm for the electromagnetic analysis of building structures and investigate their shielding effectiveness in the frequency range of 50 MHz to 1 GHz.
